Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Probe!

Roll, roll, roll...

"exist?"

"Did you bring the goods?"

"Hehe, this time I spent most of the morning to get this thing, you better take care of it!"

"Ah."

The hand rose and the knife fell, blood spurted out.

"Oh, Master, you have great knife skills." I praised him without any hesitation.

Jiale rolled his eyes at me and sighed: "I never thought that a faded person like you wouldn't even be able to kill a rabbit..."

"No, don't talk nonsense." I argued subconsciously, "If I had the right knives, I could have cooked this little rabbit by myself!"

This is a lie.

In fact, I have never even cooked a fish myself, let alone a high-end ingredient like rabbit.

Speaking of these two days, I have truly experienced Ah Tui's unlucky physique that would make dogs bark at him whenever he passed by on the street.

——Not only was I being chased everywhere by Greg’s soldiers and strange bats, but even the bug by the lake called “big dragonfly”, which was actually an Elden mosquito, rushed over fiercely and vowed to bite me.

He was so hungry that he even had to eat wild roya fruit to survive.

Fortunately, he found a skull emitting white light on the road, knocked out a golden rune from it, and exchanged it with Galie for a throwing knife. Then, relying on Ati's warrior instinct, he finally became proficient in hunting rabbits.

The pieces of meat cut by Galie were skewered on wooden sticks and roasted over the campfire. Although there was no salt, it was a good dish with some sour juice squeezed on it.

"Oh, it's delicious~" I devoured the skewers of meat greedily.

I accidentally noticed from the corner of my eye that Jiale was looking at me in a daze, which made me put down the skewer of meat in my hand in embarrassment: "What, what's wrong?"

"Hmm? Nothing." Galie shook his head, paused and said, "To be honest, you are the strangest guy I have ever seen in this turbulent continent."

"Uh." Although what he said was very rude, I seemed unable to refute it.

Galie continued, "Especially after the Ring of Magic was broken, everyone pursued power and wanted to become the king of this borderland."

"But you don't seem to care about any of this. Instead, you look quite relaxed... I don't know whether to say this is good or bad." Galie said, with a hint of sadness in his expression. "Although I don't hate it, the law of the jungle, don't wait until the day when you need it and are powerless to stop it."

"... Galie."

Perhaps he felt that he had said too much, so Jiale smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, just treat it as an old businessman's monologue, don't take it too seriously."

After saying that, Galie threw away the meat and bones he had just chewed, walked to his pony donkey, took out a musical instrument that looked like an erhu, and started playing it.

The sound of the piano is melodious, yet reveals endless sorrow.

Perhaps Galie was reminded of the tragic fate of his nomadic people who were completely abandoned, so he reminded me of this out of emotion.

Although, I actually had nothing to do with Youxian, I was just beaten unilaterally... But, why was I reincarnated into the world of Elden Ring, and what happened to the original owner of this useless body of Atai?

I still have no idea.

Memories of the past, even my own name, seemed to be hidden in the dream. I realized that I should still remember them so I didn’t have the fear of amnesia, but when I thought about it carefully, I still couldn’t figure it out.

Only the part related to the "Elden Ring" is particularly clear.

It’s just that... the ending of the Elden Ring that I hoped for...

"Hello." Suddenly, a familiar and gentle voice sounded from the piano behind him, "The one who came through the fog."

Oh!

coming! coming! coming!

This voice is definitely Melina! I was wondering why I couldn't trigger the plot even though I sat in the blessing point several times in the past two days!

"My name is Melina..."

"Little Wood!" I turned around suddenly and pounced towards Melina with the force of a roc spreading its wings.

"ah!"

Only a scream was heard.

Then, I fell heavily to the ground with my buttocks falling backwards.

In the air, the blue fluorescence dissipated gently with the wind, leaving only a white spell on the ground: "Please put on your clothes!"

Uh, could it be that I scared Little Wood away?

No way!

But I already had a pair of rabbit skin shorts over the original loincloth, which I sewed myself with a bone needle!

But then again, I had no Rune to exchange for Galie's clothing set, and when I met Greg's soldiers, I was beaten up and chased away. Large animals, wolves and wild boars were not easy to deal with...

Wait, could it be that he was too shy to come out because I was always wearing a loincloth? Tonight, he finally mustered up the courage, but I scared him away again? ! ... Could it be that Xiao Mutou would never want to see me again?

No, no, not to mention how to survive in the border area, I can’t see Melina, no!

······It seems that I have to cheer up. After all, I have been able to deal with the basic survival issues, and the next step is to explore well!

The first underground maze that is most suitable for players to explore is the underground cemetery at the foot of Stormroot.

The entire level is composed of little gargoyles, the "own sons" of the old thief Miyazaki, and the final boss is a big gargoyle. The difficulty is not that high. I was killed more than ten times at the beginning and then I passed the level.

Initial weapon: Straight sword of the Grek soldier, ready!

Secondary props: Throwing knife, ready!

We need another shield...

"Hey, this is for you." The next day, before leaving, Jiale suddenly threw a round disk over, "I'm just lending it to you first, don't die."

Oh, it's a big leather shield!

This stingy old businessman actually lent me an item worth 600 runes.

Did he sense my determination? !

I pounded my chest confidently: "Hmph, don't underestimate the 'high-level players'!"

"Uh...what is that?"

It seems that Galie behind me doesn’t trust me too much. It doesn’t matter. Everything is ready. Let’s go!

The underground cemetery at Stormroot was not far from Airey Church. It took nearly half a morning of jogging to find the entrance.

When I opened the door, a heavy smell of dust hit me in the face.

After touching the blessing, I poured the blue dew drop holy grail bottle into the red dew drop holy grail bottle for conversion. This way I would have four recovery opportunities, which increased my tolerance for error.

Slowly walking down the steps of the stone tomb, a pale shadow sat on a chair beside him, muttering: "······The so-called correct death means returning to the embrace of the golden tree. Wait patiently - wait for the moment when the tree roots call you."

Well, to be honest, I still don’t understand the rules of life and death in the world of Elden Ring - destined death, returning to the roots, corruption and decay, or even wanderers who choose immortality...

In the game, A-Ti is an invincible cockroach; he is, after all, a player character.

But now that I have really entered this world, it will be different.

The battle with the limb-grafting nobles is still fresh in my mind.

I swallowed my breath, tightly grasped the straight sword and round shield in my hands, and began my first dungeon exploration since entering the border world.

Watch me clear the level with one life!
